The latest issue of TV Guide magazine, just out in the U.S., features an exclusive interview with Star Trek movie director J.J. Abrams. Here are few excerpts.
On Trek, one of the people you worked with was Leonard freakin' Nimoy!
I know! But it's funny, because it wasn't until very recently that it really hit me how cool that was. There was so much work to do during the shoot and there were so many fires that needed putting out that there wasn't much time to sit and acknowledge the reality of working with him. Then the other day I was watching the movie, and there he was There was Spock! And it hit me like, "Holy s---!" [Laughs] It was kind of a huge delay.
There are still nearly nine months until Trek's release. What can you tell us ?
All I can say is that I think this movie is going to be worth the wait. It's blessed with a wonderful optimism and an incredibly alive and invested cast. While the visual effects are gonna be unbelievable, the movie is working right now with only 50 of our 1000-plus visual effects finished. It's funny, it's scary, it's dramatic, emotional and entertaining - all without having the stuff you'd think a movie called "Star Trek" would require. That to me is exciting.

TiVo Auto-Delete Flag Returns (Thank God It Was Only Star Trek)
In case you didn't already know, broadcasters can slip "flags" into TV shows telling your DVR to not record it or to delete it when it hits an expiration date. It's back and haunting Star Trek fans.
